A few years ago, I heard someone proclaim “Orange is the new pink.” I don’t think so! And it doesn’t even matter – we need both! Orange is warm sun glow, fire, spice, creamsicle, citrus, munchie mix! So of course, this orange blazer had to come home with me.
I initially reached for my Jones tuxedo blouse for this blazer’s inaugural wear since it has an orange-ish fleck in it and would coordinate nicely. However, being freshly inspired from my dress-up session on the weekend, I put it back and decided to deliberately choose something that didn’t “match.” I am insanely adventurous and therefore chose this black striped long sleeve Gap tee and a pink belt that doesn’t go with anything in this ensemble. Crazy.
What you are seeing is wild style; those are brown pants ($2.45 VV Boutique) with that black striped top. Come on, I know others can identify with this being a (hopefully former) style stretch!! I wore my Miz Mooz Pauly wedges and added a bold necklace just in case people needed somewhere to look besides the orange.
I like the band and button detailing and the crop fitted style of this blazer. I originally got all excited because I thought it was a ponte knit. No such luck, but it is still awesome and with all the talk about coloured blazers, I think it is a great addition to my VV Boutique wardrobe!

Love the look! Yellow, orange and mustard are my new fav colours! Janet
I think this blazer will be quite versatile. Perhaps treat it as a neutral? J
